Pros

Great co-workers Great Mission Really Helping the Community Leave work at work

Cons

Lack of diversity and inclusion in upper management. Leadership allows bullies in upper management positions, people without skills who lead by fear. Employees not given ability to grow or develop Disorganized as the company grows it will become even more of a mess

Pros

Front-line work is gratifying. You will likely adore your co-workers. The mission is hard to beat. The board seems to be pretty solid, engaged and sincere.

Cons

Compensation is poor. Favoritism is a big problem at headquarters. If you accept a position at FC, make absolutely sure you are good with the terms, because they will not budge once you start work. There is not much room for advancement. Leadership have been quoted as saying that $x is not enough to live in Austin, yet many employees there make $x or less. Managers are not held accountable for poor behavior.

Good company to work for overall but your experience may vary widely based on department

Pros

The company does great work to help people in the community and help fill the gap in lack of affordable housing. They offer great benefits and better pay than most nonprofits.

Cons

Serving different locations spread all around Austin can be challenging and can make some staff spread thin. Also, admitting areas you're struggling in and asking for help from your supervisor can sometimes be used as a mark against you, instead of helping give you the support you need. That's unfortunate because doing this type of work can be very challenging and taxing on a lot of levels. Lastly, HR staff *should* be able to do their job without being rude about it.
